The JSM Strategic Sales Director leads Atlassian's Public Sector sales strategy, overseeing a team to drive business growth and collaboration with core account teams.
Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work - whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
At Atlassian, we are on a mission to help our customers compete and win in the modern, digital economy. We have built a multi-billion-dollar, fast-growing software business with over 300,000 paying customers, hundreds of sales and implementation partners, and millions of users around the globe. Our culture is open, welcoming, collaborative, and passionately focused on our customers' success.
Our Strategic Solution Sales team builds and implements an effective sales strategy. They drive the adoption of select products and services to our largest customers. At the same time, we want the Solutions Sales Executive to be a champion for our customers, providing feedback to our product and engineering teams and helping us optimize our customer experience. They will lead a territory comprised of named accounts and a geographic region, frequently working arm-in-arm with our own Strategic Account Managers, Solution Engineers, Channel Partners, Product and Marketing organization.
